It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard once asked our Lord which was His greatest recorded suffering and that our Lord condescended to answer: "I had on My Shoulder, while I bore My Cross on the way of sorrow, a most grievous wound which was more painful to Me than the others and which is not recorded by men because they knew not of it. Honour the Wound with devotion and I will grant thee whatsoever thou dost ask through its virtue and merits; and in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound, I will remit to them all their venial sins and will no more remember their mortal sins."
3 Paters (Our Fathers) 3 Aves (Hail Marys) 3 Glorias (Glory Bes)

SALUTION OF THE WOUND IN THE SHOULDER OF JESUS
O most loving Jesus, meekest Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross, which so tore Thy flesh and laid bare Thy bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any wound of Thy most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus most sorrowful. I praise Thee, I bless The and glorify Thee and give Thee thanks for this most sacred and most painful Wound. Beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and the crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross, to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the way of the Cross.

Sister Mary Martha Chambon, a humble lay Sister of the Visitation Order of Chambery, France, who died in the odor of sanctity, March 21st, 1907, received these two invocations from Our Lord Himself, as she affirmed, and with them a double MISSON to adore and invoke the Sacred Wounds unceasingly and to revive this devotion in the hearts of creatures.
